Polystyrene Collection 2.0
Hi Neighbours!
A while ago I put out a message that got a few people keen about getting their polystyrene waste collected and recycled. The previous post is archived so I have to create this new post.
The company that I was in talks with have now set up their new premises in Porirua, and are ready to take the collections now, they are just in the final stages of taking over the old Poly Palace site at Spicer Landfill.
I'm looking at going there on Monday morning, so if I can arrange some collections this weekend and make it worth the effort, that would be great.
I put out a link to a Google Spreadsheet for interested people to put their details in, and I'll get in touch with those people.
If you never saw this last time, then the link to the spreadsheet is:
docs.google.com...
There is a cost involved - $35 / cubic meter. I'm guessing that a bootload would be about a cubic meter so I'll go by that. So whoever wishes to get rid of their poly waste, I'll be requesting a donation, depending on how much you have.
Please fill out your details into the spreadsheet, or if you don't want to do that, give me your email address here or by private message.
If it works out then I could look at doing it more regularly.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
